Xinfeng Seedless Lychee

Xinfeng Seedless Lychee

　　The Xinfeng seedless lychee variety features bright red fruits with an average single fruit weight of 42.6 grams, which is 1.68 times heavier than that of Black Leaf lychee and Fragrant lychee, and 1.4 times heavier than Fozhi Xiao. The flesh is sweet, crisp, honey-scented, and free of astringency, earning it a reputation as the finest lychee variety.

　　　　Xinfeng seedless lychee exhibits vigorous growth and strong, stable high yields without significant annual yield fluctuations. Under natural conditions, the seedless rate exceeds 98%, with seeds fully degenerated and the edible portion accounting for 90.1% of the fruit's weight. It also boasts good storability, with fresh fruits remaining consumable for over 21 days when stored at 8–12°C. Qinzhou Xinfeng Farm introduced the variety in September 2000 and successfully conducted small-scale trial production in mid-June during 2001, 2002, and 2003. In Hainan’s natural environment, the seedless rate is 68.4%, the partially-seeded (burnt-core) rate is 22.4%, and the medium-seeded rate is 12.2%. At Xinfeng Farm, however, the natural seedless rate reaches over 98%, with only 2% partially-seeded fruits.

　　　　Xinfeng seedless lychees are ripe between June 15 and June 30.
